It's the small things

My issues with the WLUSA strike are not necessarily the major obstacles encountered by other students, but rather the minor, everyday services that we take for granted. For instance, I have to go all the way to the Athletic Complex to book a squash court, because I don't know the extension to the Hawk's desk and the switchboard is obviously not available. I evidently, in the past, have taken so many things for granted, such as the services offered at 202 Regina. I know everyone has experienced the lines and the hours of waiting that go on in that building. But, I was there a few times to pick up my Distance Education packages in the past two weeks and I didn't get service until the third time I was there. 202 Regina is not considered to be in a favourable location and when you have to make numerous trips to leave satisfied, it is quite frustrating. I went once at 4pm, they closed at 3pm, the next day I went at 9am and they opened at lOam. Finally, on my third trip, I received the course package I initially went to get. Now, I don't blame the people who are filling the void of our striking staff, because they are trying and working very hard to replicate the work of those on strike, but when you have inconsistency in hours of oper­ ation and general knowledge about procedures, it is quite a hassle. ~arn\~ade The most profound effect that the strike has had on me, I would say, is through my work at Alumni Hall. I work for the Annual Fund and my boss is walking the picket lines. Luckily, we have some great staff that are doing a wonderful job at keeping things running smoothly. However, things are obviously very difficult for everyone involved and I hope that it ends soon.

~ Last Sunday, (22/09/02) I arrived at the Stadium around 8:15am to discover that the field had not been lined for our games that began at lO:OOam. The field was still wet (rain and dew), so it would probably be difficult to line the field with duct tape in our usual manner. Anyway, the stadium attendant didn't have keys to the room which held the lining instructions, the duct tape and long tape measures required and there was no place open where we could buy the tape. I raced home, picked up my measuring tape and rule book, as well as a couple members of my family, and arrived back at the field just as my team was showing up. I gave the team members a rule book, a string marked with the measurements and some rolls of masking tape and asked them to mark one end of the field while my husband, daughter and I attempted to mark the other end with lime and the lining machine used on the track (which I had remembered was kept in the shed). About this time, the umpires arrived and jumped in to help. Luckily, we had just enough lime to finish marking both ends and were able to start the games only 20 minutes behind schedule. I had spoken to the Stadium staff and the Athletic Director about the need to line the field on Friday and they had felt confident it would get done. I had left the markings along with my cell number at the stadium. "" Unfortunately, because the student coverage was so busy with two football games on Saturday, they were exhaust­ Lynn Orth ed and just couldn't do it. Someone was going to call me but forgot. All of this is nobody's fault, just a product of Head Coach too few people with too much to do as a result of the strike. I was upset and frustrated by the situation but not Women's Lacrosse angry with the people, as I understood their exhaustion. However, we could have been forced to default or been unprepared for our game as a result of lining the field instead of warming up.

Programs put on hold

I am the Coordinator of a volunteer program at Laurier and would like to take this opportunity to talk about how our organization has been affected by the labour dispute between WLUSA and the WLU Administration. Our program gives Laurier students the opportunity to volunteer their time in a local high school and assist in classrooms to help improve reading, writing, comprehension, mathematical, and other vital skills with which they are struggling. We also are expanding to the Grade 12 and OAC classes to help in creating an environment that might better prepare them for University and College learning environments. Yet, without the help of the staff we have had difficulties recruiting and getting ourselves noticed. It has been difficult to get memos to the departments, impossible in fact to be able to have something placed in their mailboxes. This is not the failure of the professors and department heads, but rather that they too are having difficulties organizing themselves and our organization has been somewhat lost in the mix. We had also planned to have some of our faculty, who had volunteered, go to WCI and give a lecture to the grade twelve 's and OAC 's in hopes of providing them with a perspective on what Universities have to offer and what programs they might like to explore. /e,f;ChtteJ A Unfortunately, as the strike has entered its third week we have decided that this endeavour is too much to organize until January, when the staff has returned and professors may turn their attention to outside mat­ ere;ril ters. The students of the high school have lost out on a valuable opportunity to explore their options before they apply to university. I would like to see this strike end for a number of reasons, but particularly so that this program of ours has a better shot of expanding and creating a solid link between Laurier and the Waterloo community.

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 2 2002 12 feature

Not business like of Laurier In a strike, no one wins.... When I first heard these words, I don't think that I truly appreciated their true mean- ing. To me, the WLUSA staff strike just meant longer line ups in the Regina Street office, longer waits for OSAP students and so on. But to be honest, as a third year student at Laurier, I have learned to expect long line ups for absolutely everything and I take into account that whatever I need to accomplish will be done in the most time consuming way possible and that this is inevitable. However, as the strike continues and the semester is already beginning to fly by, more student inconveniences are surfacing. Laurier being a top economic and business school, should realize that the purpose of a business is to keep its customer satisfied. And it is very easy to call Laurier a business. It a business which provides the service of education. This makes all of us Golden Hawks con- sumers. . ..consumers whose needs are not being met. For example, library access. Any type of service from the library would be great at this point. It is quite humorous that all of the books that are most needed by students are locked away in storage, completely unavailable to us "the paying customers". And if this isn't bad enough, it is even more humorous that as a direct result of the strike, students can't even use the Trellis system to receive the needed books for their numerous assignments. I do realize that the University of Waterloo is just down the Melissa Eidunno street, but the point is that a university should be able to provide such a basic service, to its extremely over pay- ing customers. A new frustration that has just arisen is the threat that midterms may be delayed as a result of the various departments running out of paper and of course, the people who prepare the thousands of photo copies are on strike. A professor of mine mentioned that, at this point, exams are still as scheduled however, it is a pos- sibility that some may be delayed. This is really becoming unacceptable. Last year, it was a hassle to find a spot on campus to study or complete homework because it was literally busting at the seems. And this year, it is a chore to receive access to the materials necessary to complete the loads of homework and assignments that we are faced with. So what's next? This is the real problem because as Laurier students, we will always be wondering what is next?

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 2 2002 18 business The New Grad Pub Grad students get a new space with on emphasis on meeting their needs

Christine Cherry

Walking down Bricker Avenue you may notice a large hole where the Grad Pub once stood. Home to many festive nights, great St. Patty's Day parties, and some of Laurier's finest homegrown entertainment, many senior undergradu- ate students mourned the demolition of the Grad Pub. Much more casual than the Turret, and with a shorter lineup than Wilf's, the Grad Pub was a great on campus option for stu- dents with a thirst for a recreational beverage or two. Well undergrads, you are just going to have to get over your loss, and make the walk to Morty's or Paddy's if it is that cozy pub atmosphere you are craving. The Grad stu- dents have reclaimed their space. Located in the Graduate Student, Faculty and Staff Lounge on the ground floor of the Student Services Building, the Grad Pub now caters to the clientele it was cre- ated to serve. Suresh Kandawamy, a graduate student of Geography and the Business Manager for the Grad Pub, believes the new pub is a space where graduate students can CHERRY come to relax, study and interact socially with each other as well as staff and faculty.
